THE COST OF DAYLIGHT (THE DAYLIGHT TRILOGY Book 3)

THE COST OF DAYLIGHT

(The Daylight Series, Book Three)

The truth is no longer hidden.
Now comes the price.

In the aftermath of a death that exposed the fault lines of a small Southern town, daylight has done its work. The facts are known. The record exists. Silence is no longer unanimous.

But truth does not arrive to save anyone.

As investigations widen and institutions retreat into self-preservation, Russell Billy Johnson discovers that exposure is only the beginning. Careers quietly end. Loyalties fracture. Deals are offered, then withdrawn. What cannot be denied must be managed—and what cannot be managed must be paid for by someone.

While officials trade distance for survival and the town of Gloster learns to live with what it knows, Russell faces the most difficult reckoning of all: not whether the truth mattered, but what it demands in return.

The Cost of Daylight is a restrained, uncompromising conclusion to The Daylight Series—a trilogy not about uncovering corruption, but about what follows when it can no longer be ignored. It is a novel about erosion rather than explosions, consequence rather than catharsis, and the permanent weight of knowing.

Some truths do not redeem.
They endure.
